You may even remember the winning entry and its impact on the Internet as we know it. Okay maybe that is a bit of...

Today we are celebrating the 100 th birthday of a very special man and it all started with a fax to Mich Mathews, our SVP of Marketing. I’ll admit it was a little strange – it came from a man named Dr. Richard Bing who said he was 99 years old and would love to do something with us since...

If you don’t spend all day staring at airfares and hotel rates, you might not know how much they fluctuate. The same trip can vary by hundreds of dollars from day to day. That can make it hard to know whether you’re getting a good deal or not. Luckily, you’ve got Bing Travel ’s...

It’s been just over a year since we introduced cashback and a lot has happened in that time. We’ve added offers, merchants, and even changed our name to Bing cashback (although some suggested “Bing Bling”). With all the activity this year, we thought it was a good time to revisit...

A key goal for Bing is to deliver the very best search results. One of the ways Bing does this is through a new feature called “Best match”, which sets up the best result in a distinct, easily accessible space at the top of the page. You may ask yourself: Why did we bother to do this? Don’t...
